TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JONATHAN SMITH, of Tin, in the county of Seneca', and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new-nud useful Improvements in Pencil-Holders; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification..

My invention consists in an oblong metal tube, provided withan opening in its side, near the upper end, around which opening is a tight-tting-rubber bend, said tube and band being inserted in the vest of a person, between the lining and Outside.

Figure 1 of the annexed drawings represents a section of a vest, showing the upper end of the tube, inserted as above described. I

Figure 2 shows a. `section of the garment with the tube therein,

Figure 5, the tube and band.

Figure 6, a horizontal section of the tube, showing the opening and band.

Figure 7, the upper end of the tube,nnd its teeth, by which the tube is held in place in the garnie'nt.

This tube A is made of a suitable size for un ordinary lead-pencil, and with the opening in Vits side, as before described, with a rubber band, G, around the opening, so that, as the pencil is inserted, this band prevents it from slipping out of place. After the band is around the tube, and the tube within the. garment, the teeth e e are bent downwards, after having been passed through the lining.

What I claim as new, und desire to securev'by Letters Patent, is- I The elongated tube A, with an opening in its side, -nround which opening and tube is an India-rubber band, G, said tube being provided with teeth e e, for securing it within the garment, for holdinga pen or pencihas set forth.

In testimony that I elniin the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand, this 11th day of June, 1867.

JONATHAN SMITH.
